For HKers no permit needed, I guess that is until further notice, like last year
Anyone that thinks that countries can or will put any real pressure on China about the Tibet situation is deluded. In these economic hard times when countries are coming hat in hand to beg China for money? Oh by the way... we won't take your money unless you free Tibet
Tibet has absolutely nothing of real interest or value to other countries. If one look at Darfur and Sudan where China also has a lot of influence and nothing was done, it's pretty obvious that Tibet will be as China wills...
So that leaves internet posters deploring this awful situation while comfortably sitting on their ergonomic chairs with the air con blasting and a drink in hand commenting on what a shame it is before tuning in to the footie match... Whatever helps your conscience I guess.
I feel really bad for the people. I learned so much about China after moving here.

Isn't is all about Energy security.
Why would China bother with a bunch of ill-educated self immolating monks and peasants on top of barren mountains if there wasn't something to keep them their.
With self determination Tibet could probably be Asia's Norway of the 21st century.

The uranium has value to only a select few countries and the geographical restrictions makes it untenable for anyone but China to access it furthermore that's an added argument to the fact that absolutely nothing will change Tibet's situation. You don't spend time and energy on a lost cause against a country like China. At most, it's a chip to be played bargaining for other things.
Tibet being Asia's Norway Don't hold your breath
